Lumber car
These folks need help! They destroyed the car according to the story. A trusty Aero and trailer would do the job!

Weird. I wonder if Snopes has a bad link to the picture. Can my link be deleted? I can't edit the post anymore.

Red Volvo semi is from my work. Larer I gonna post a pics of trailer rebuild shop to show how overloading damage them. Bent axes, blown tires bent frames.... all to get additional profit. Usually they overload old semis (parts are cheapper). It is not legal, but so....:-)))...... well, semis for EU have speed limiters (60MPH) and torque and rev. limiters. Reprogramming allow to rum faster, much faster on German autobahns. It is not legal too, but they do not sent tickets for overspeeding to Ukraine, so we drive dangerously fast on autobahns. We had brake disk overheating and cracking issues, onese tire began to birn becouse of overheating near Berlin. Driver called fire team. But Germans said that it was caliper failure and repared trailer with warranty.

Houling 1200 LBs is not a problem. I used to haul 1700 kg. Had rear tires blown at 65 MPH.... at lower speeds had no problem. Now I have C (commertial) rated tires. They are heavy but may be used for over 1300 LBS load on tire. I have Michelin for mid size commertional trucks tires (225/60R15)
